Mancat Monday Fun

The little three year old bean that comes here on Mondays and Fridays decided to try and scare us and mombean too.



We were not fooled with that mask! We knew all along who was under there.

Then he asked mom for the bag of Temptations, yeah!



nom, nom, nom. We all got more than mombean gives us.




Moe: I let the little bean give me scritches, he loved that.

What's Cookin'

Mike: did I ever mention, by any chance, how much I love to eat?

Cookie Reports on Wednesday

Cookie: I got to be outside, yay!! Mom was happy because she managed to get a really good photo of me, too. The other cats don't go outside, just me, even if it's only for a very short time, it still counts. I don't go far, but once (maybe twice) when I didn't want to come in I climbed a tree and mombean had to bribe me with Temptations to go back inside. Life is fun!



Here's some things to be seen in our yard.

These are For-Get-Me-Nots, hard to forget these because they just grow all around the yard, mombean never has to plant their seed. They plant themselves!



And this is a Hosta. They are great for hiding under, ha, ha.



Our bird bath, which I find very entertaining!




Yep, this cool toy is in our yard too. It's not my toy though. It's not much fun because you can't bat it around, or eat it.



When mombean took another walk in the woods behind the ballfield (she does that lots) she got another photo of a woodland plant. It's a pink Ladyslipper.



And on another walk, in another part of the woods, she spied this green guy. He might be fun to try to catch, but I don't like jumping into the water.



I sure hope everyone is having a good week!

Easy on Sunday

Moe: Did you know this is one of my favorite spots in da kitchen?



Bon Bon: I decided to look right at the camera today!



Mike: Is that a treat you has mombean? I'm always, always ready for a treat.




This beautiful woodland flower is called Painted Trillium. It grows in the forest near our house. Mom was very excited to get a picture of it. It is so rare to actually see one.



Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Headshots

Bon Bon: I don't like my photo taken, but mom got this one in spite of the fact that I usually close my eyes or turn away. I hate the camera.




Mindy: I'm with you Bon Bon. That camera is annoying.




Hope the weekend will be nice. Yesterday the weather was so unpredictable and cold! Hardly any birds to watch or even that pesky squirrel!




Have a good weekend everyone!

Critters in our Yard

This squirrel, for some strange reason, actually bypassed our bird/ squirrel feeder and ran up into the oak tree.



You can see the young oak leaves starting to grow. However, the squirrel seems to be eating the flowers? Maybe someone knows if those dangling things are the blooming stage of an oak. We are only guessing.



As you can see, I am on the windowsill supervising all outdoor activity from my vantage point.

Whitester Wednesday

The other day I got some comments on the chair that I've claimed. Well, it's finished. It looks new, but it is an old chair. Mombean reupholstered it by ordering and buying fabric from tonicliving.com a place that specializes in vintage and retro inspired fabric designs. Do you agree that it looks good against my white furs?



I have other exciting news! We have a new baby in our neighbourhood, next door to us, in fact. His name is Ben and he is a baby horse. He was born this morning and in these pictures, he is about five hours old.



You can see Ben's mom, Susie, in the background. Jessica is taking him outside for the first time with help from Emily.



Proud mom with her new son.



The horse in the photo above is Ben's dad.




We seemed to be waiting a long time for Ben to arrive. The young girls you see in the picture even slept in the hayloft so they wouldn't miss his birth - guess what? They did sleep through it, ha, but woke up soon after.

My, I had lots to say today. I am usually such a quiet mancat.

Tabby Tuesday with Moe

It sure is nice outside and the temps are hot....for a change. I prefer some cooling breezes along with the sunshine though.



Mombean went outside to get photos of this rhododendron. It has been around for years 'n years. It finally bloomed. She loves the colour.



Oh, and this tasty tidbit feathered creature spends lots of time in our yard.


Mom says it's a White Throat-ed Sparrow....um, yeah, thanks for the lesson but they're all yummy ... oops,I mean...all the same to me.

Then there's this very green stuff (Solomon's Seal says mom)



These yellow things, too, which we have only because the deer don't like eating them.




Did you all enjoy Moe's pathetic garden tour?

Mancat Monday featuring Bon Bon

Mombean is recovering a chair. I wanted to sleep on it, it is so, so comfy. However mom says she still needs to work on it, so she turned it on its side. I am claiming it for ME. Therefore, I needs to stay close to it and let the other cats know that it's mine, all mine.



I hope all the mancats have their special nap spots, too!

Productive Saturday

Our ancient computer is still having issues. That means that its hard drive died, like a month and a half ago. Okay, we have a temporary set up - wonder for how long? Oh, and the monitor takes fits but dat could be because the computer is making it do this. This is way too much information for everyone, especially us. Main thing it's working right this minute.

Dadbean worked today and so did sonbean, so mombean did some sewing. Dat wasn't very interesting to us, but when she got carried away, we reminded her when it was time to eat. Eventually, things got more exciting. She put her project - on the floor! How cool is that? We took our time checking out her work. We wanted her to leave it on da floor, but no she says it's not finished yet....and she says it's NOT for us! Well, it's too bright for us anyway, oh, and not nearly puffy enough.



We were going to post this on Saturday, but now it's Sunday......at least it IS getting posted (hopefully).

Purrs from Moe (the orange guy) and Mindy (the pretty girl).
